Family Rise by Daily Intelligence-Chapter 173 - 134: Beauty, Unexpected Gains, Critical Intelligence
At this point.
Liu Qingyun was speaking from his heart.
The Second Elder wanted to persuade him further.
But Liu Qingyun didn’t listen anymore and directly saw the guest out.
The Second Elder also knew that this matter could not be accomplished overnight, and with a smile, he said:
"If that’s the case, I won’t force Fellow Daoist Liu. However, my little daughter Wanning has admired you for a long time. You must not break this girl’s heart."
With that.
He laughed and left Ping Wanning behind and left with long strides.
Ping Wanning, with her Mid-Stage Qi Cultivation, as soon as the Second Elder left, looked at Liu Qingyun with sultry eyes and said: "Master, if you drive me out, I’ll truly have no place to go."
It was clear she had been trained since childhood.
Every word carried a peculiar charm, enticing a man’s heart.
If it were before the Foundation Establishment.
Liu Qingyun naturally wouldn’t dare to take pleasure in this beauty, but now that he had already established his foundation, the Ping family only sent over a beautiful woman, he might as well accept her. Even if the Shangguan family knew, they wouldn’t say much.
He decided at that moment to postpone the visit to the Shangguan family.
Even the Ping family, far away in Pingshan County, had come to recruit him, indicating that he was already a hot commodity, and there was no need to cling to the Shangguan family’s cold shoulder.
When they get the news.
The Ping family came to their Liu family.
They would probably be eager to curry favor with Liu Qingyun.
For a moment.
Liu Qingyun was in high spirits.
With a laugh.
He pulled Ping Wanning into his arms:
"Beauty, let your husband pamper you well....."
"Master...."
The next moment.
The room was filled with endless ripples.
To break through to Foundation Establishment, Liu Qingyun had never approached women before. After having a taste, he was immediately enchanted, and when he was finally free from the spell of tender affection, several months had already passed.
When he inquired around.
During this past period.
The Shangguan family hadn’t visited even once:
"Something’s wrong!"
Liu Qingyun instinctively felt something was amiss.
.....
Meanwhile.
A little over a month ago.
Fu Changsheng and Shangguan Feng, along with his daughter, after leaving the Eastern Wilderness, faced two different directions ahead.
The matter of promoting to a Quasi-Ninth-Grade Noble Family was significant and needed careful management.
Fu Changsheng thought for a moment and decided to exchange information:
"Exchange information."
Buzz!
The panel vibrated.
A flood of yellow light surged.
Followed by lines of text appearing:
[1: Beneath Niushou Mountain, Earth Vein Fire is contained, and within the magma grows a Tier Two Low-Grade Fire Fruit Tree, most of its fruits have been devoured by the Fire Demon in the Magma Lake]
[2: North of Yunshan County, near the border with the Pingshan County territory, a medium-sized Tier One High-Grade Xuan Iron Ore Vein is hidden]
[3: Liu Qingyun has successfully established his foundation, and the Ping family from Pingshan County sent the Second Elder to persuade the Ping family, using the opportunity to ascend to a Quasi-Ninth-Grade Noble Family as a reason to woo Liu Qingyun into joining their Ping family camp]
"Stop the exchange!"
Upon seeing the first two pieces of information.
Fu Changsheng remained calm.
But upon seeing the third piece of information, he couldn’t maintain his composure.
He never imagined the Ping family’s hand would reach so far, even coming to Anyang County to win over Liu Qingyun. With the Ping family meddling, the matter of becoming a Quasi-Ninth-Grade Noble Family, once a certainty, now carried variables.
He quickly organized his thoughts.
As he bid farewell to Shangguan Feng and his daughter.
He communicated:
"Uncle Feng, I received news from the clan that Liu Qingyun has successfully established his foundation. Recently, the Ping family has been trying to make contact with Liu Qingyun. If my guess is correct, the Ping family is likely trying to use the title of a Quasi-Ninth-Grade Noble Family as bait to lure the Liu family into their camp!"
In other words.
They must secure the Quasi-Ninth-Grade Noble Family status before Liu Qingyun and the Ping family forge an alliance.
Shangguan Hongyu’s phoenix eyes turned:
"If that’s the case, Changsheng, you shouldn’t tell anyone, not even your bedmate, about your Foundation Establishment. Once we return to the clan, you must not go out for the time being, and wait for us to make arrangements."
"Then I’ll trouble Uncle Feng and Miss Hongyu."
Shangguan Feng, seeing Fu Changsheng’s alienation, playfully scolded him and, noticing the hidden worry in his brows, quickly reassured him:
"Rest assured, I’ll ensure that your Fu family’s promotion to a Quasi-Ninth-Grade Noble Family is handled securely. The Liu and Ping families won’t be able to intervene!"
With Shangguan Feng’s assurance.
Fu Changsheng felt slightly relieved.
After bidding farewell to the two.
Fu Changsheng said to Molan and his fourth sister:
"You both heard what Uncle Feng said, once we’re back in the clan, make sure not to broadcast my Foundation Establishment."
"Yes, Patriarch."
They responded.
Fu Changsheng then patted his storage bag, and with a flash of Dawn Light, a bottle of Qi Concealment Pill appeared in his hand. Once ingested, his aura would lower to the Peak of Qi Cultivation, making it foolproof.
There was still some distance to Luofeng Mountain.
Fu Changsheng had his fourth sister take the helm, waved his sleeve, and set up the Illusionary Array around him. Once the array was activated, he took out Elder Yun’s storage bag.
Having been busy traveling.
He hadn’t had the chance to check.
This was his first time acquiring a Foundation Establishment cultivator’s storage bag. Although the other party was severely injured shortly after entering the ruins, they had still ventured into the Qingxu Sect’s ruins, so there should be some gains.
Fu Changsheng held a bit of anticipation.
He patted the storage bag.
With a flash of Dawn Light.
A few boxes floated out:
"Eh"
Among them, an ancient-looking box with a black base and dragon pattern immediately caught his attention. The box was forged from Tier Two Wormwood Wood, and the pattern on it did not seem to belong to their current era.
The box was obviously obtained by Elder Yun from the ruins.
Inner Sect items.
Shouldn’t be lesser than Outer Sect ones.
A Daoist technique was injected.
With a buzz.
The box opened.
